CHAPTER XIII

Holbar led them to his house that was in the market district. He lived in a fairly large house built onto his butcher shop. Avalanche stayed outside while the other three headed up the steps to the living quarters. Once they were inside and the doors were close Holbar let out an audible sigh of relief. That feeling of relaxation only lasted for a moment before Holbar rounded on Thad with a very stern look on his face. “You can stay for the night but I want you on your way in the morning. A day should be more than enough time for whatever you’re here for. I warn you if you try anything I will run you through faster than you can raise that little stick of yours.”

“It would be tha last thing ya do.” Brianna said tapping her fingers against the blade of her axe.

“Back already sweetie? What was all the commotion about dear?” A musical voice said from the other room, which was quickly followed by a young girl running into the room. “Daddyyyyyyy.” She yelled as she ran and jumped into Holbar’s arms.

A blond haired beauty stuck her head out the doorway and looked at her four guests with more than a bit of surprise on her face. “Who are your friends dear?” She asked brandishing a long wooden spoon at Holbar.

“It is complicated dear. Jeanie, why don’t you go outside and play for a bit.” Holbar said setting the girl down who pouted a bit but obeyed her father and quickly ran down the stairs and out the door.

Holbar looked over his shoulder at his wife and then back toward the three travelers who sat at his table. “Just from the looks of you three it’s easy to tell that you’re not from around here and from what I witnessed outside the town you’re not quite normal either. From what some of the other militia members were saying if I’d left ya to sleep on your own they would have paid you a visit this evening.”

“It would have been their last time making a nighttime visit.” Crusher said aggressively.

Holbar’s wife let out a scared squeak; he looked over to her and sighed heavily. “That’s what I thought would happen. That is the reason I invited you to stay here. I don’t get along with all of those hot heads but I prefer not to have to bury them. What I would like to know though is how you did that outside the village. I don’t believe you’re the spawn of some demon but I prefer not to take chances.”

Thad laughed lightly which was quickly joined in by Crusher and Brianna. “I am
